This problem is about the inkscape\share\extensions\eps_input.inx file.
it looks for a "gs" in your path: <dependency type="executable">gs</dependency>
In order to have this done you need to have ghostscript in your PATH. add "C:\program files\gs\gs8.51\bin" to PATH and rename gs into gswin32c.exe in the inx file
Oh, cool. So how do we want to handle this in the future? Have two .inx files, one for windows and one for everyone else? Do the windows packagers have any ideas?

Does somebody knows how that works for Mac ? How are extension dependencies handled in other (multiplatform)applications (ai/gimp/firefox)?
Maybe we add a special windows option "path to application" that contains the full path+application name for that like "C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.51\gswin32c.exe". Also thinkable is a menu like in firefox to edit settings for the different extensions.
Any input is welcome,

As far as I'm aware, no one else uses external scripts like we do. (you can thank Bryce for the cool idea) You can already adjust the paths of interpreters, perhaps we're going to have to do something for executables also.
